Kona Poke - Calgary, Alberta

It was just okay. The location on the plus 15 was a bit tucked away, but I searched for it and found it. The size of the bowl was a good size, but I found the prices to be more than other poke places I've been to. ... Options for the toppings were limited to 4 items, and if you were to add the premium items, it's additional charge, which is fine, but with only 4 free items, you're kinda forced to add the premium add on's. The white rice wasn't very fresh when I ordered my bowl. I found it hard and dry and needs sauce to be able to digest it. The fish was just okay, but when you mix spicy mayo to all the salmon and tuna, it really is just very saucy fish. A few pieces that I had in the bowl were very stringy and cannot be chewed. Overall, not a great bowl of poke and very highly unlikely will go back. Read more

Fast, friendly, efficient staff. Decent line for lunch but not bad. The bowl was just sort of ok in my opinion. Even with the spicer of the sauces there I wasn't really impressed with the flavor. Several bites of tuna had a metallic taste that was off putting. The large bowl ... wasn't particularly large. Overall an alright healthier option for lunch downtown, but I won't be rushing back.

All the other reviews are right to rave about this place. It was absolutely delicious! The regular size with two scoops of protein was surprisingly filling. I had it with extra of avocado and crab and ended up paying around 13$. The line up went by very quick. The place may be a ... bit tricky to find if you don't work on that side of DT and are not familiar with that +15. Read more

Kona does Poke right. The founders did their research and it shows. The ingredients are fresh, well balanced, and well prepared. I've been here twice now, and both times it was enjoyable. The staff are super friendly. I would suggest mixing the lava sauce with the house sauce when you ... do visit. Would highly recommend checking it out (there is a second location coming soon in the Versus building on 10th Avenue). Hopefully the new beltline location has evening hours. Otherwise, this place is fantastic. Read more

Went with a bunch of coworkers and we all enjoyed it. The staff was super friendly, the line was long but not too bad at 11:30 (worse at noon) and the food was quite good! They let you mix brown or sushi rice with greens which is nice. The brown ... rice was a bit hard. Prices are alright and it's good to have a second Poke option in town. Will be back again. Read more
